I'd love to give this course a better review but the greens really need work. They look good but they are really bumpy and spongy so the ball hops and wobbles on the way to the hole. Everyone in our group watched putts move all over the place and it was every green. That said, the price was good, the course conditions were otherwise good and the pace was good with a friendly staff. And the course is interesting and challenging. Hope they fix the greens but I'm inclined to stay away due to that one issue.

Played on 2-16-13 and the course was not in good shape. Brown grass on the fairways? Check. Rock hard turf? Check. Greens like your driveway? Check. That and the area is not much to look at (I'm being polite here) and the course is just a so-so layout. We paid the tourist rate of $85 and it felt like a $25 muni at best. That and it takes 30 minutes to drive to from Laughlin. My advice is to leave the clubs at home while in Laughlin as there just aren't any great options in this area - I've tried the others too.

I hate to be a wet blanket about this highly reviewed course, but it is just OK. It was in good shape, not great, and the layout is nice without being anything special. The value was right, but according to some of the reviews you'd think you are going to play Pebble Beach. The course is fine, the layout is fine, the staff is fine but you're not going to be blown away. But the big complaint is the lack of any course rangers. This is how you end up waiting needlessly on every tee box and in every fairway waiting for the group in front of you to finish plumb-bobbing their three footers like they are at Augusta on Sunday. Its how you end up behind groups shooting 100+ yet playing from the tips. So while my round wasn't overly long, it was much longer than it needed to be if they had just had a friendly guy on a cart moving folks along. I mentioned this after my round and the staffer there acknowledged the need and indicated many on the staff have asked management to implement this much needed service.

This is one of 3 courses at Wigwam and is the easiest of them. The course is just right if you're looking to have a good time and not get beat up and lose balls, etc. It is a beautiful course and the pace of play on this busy day was still only 4 hours and that was great. The staff is excellent and the entire resort is top notch. Play all the courses at Wigwam, there is something for everyone here. Great practice facility as well.
